Empowering students to achieve career goals and become lifelong learners.
Vision:
By continuous improvement, through change and innovation, CACC will become a leading technology center in the State of Michigan.
ELA Goal:
• When ELA literacy strategies are introduced, staff will implement them in the classroom. Staff will work in PLCs to put together lessons that will employ each strategy. Instructors will use these strategies in the classroom as they address program technical standards and then bring student work from these lessons to the next PLC meeting for discussion.
• One hundred percent of the teachers will use each literacy strategy introduced in the PLCs and then bring samples of student work/assessment back to the next PLC meeting to share and discuss.
• Eighty-five percent of students will show overall improvement on the EDRP and specifically at least a 2 point increase in the Instructional Level (P=.75)score between the pre-test and post-test .
Math Goal:
• The Calhoun Area Career Center will improve student competency in mathematics literacy.
• By December 19, 2008 one-hundred percent of CACC program instructors will select and document at least 4 program-specific tasks into which the following math objectives will be embedded: fractions, decimals, percents, and proportions.
• One-hundred percent of CACC instructors will incorporate strategies to address these goals in their curriculum.
• These goals will be measured longitudinally through the Work keys Applied Mathematics assessment to show continued growth.
• Student performance on the internal assessment of selected math objectives will improve by a rate of at least 15% from pre to post test.
Technical Goal:
• By May 31, 2009, program instructors will incorporate into their curriculum 10 items from their Gap Analysis and move their category "up" one level (N to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5).
